Menifee Central School

Summary:

Menifee Central School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Frenchburg, Kentucky, part of the Menifee County School District. With a 1-star rating and ranking in the bottom 15% of Kentucky elementary schools, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Menifee Central School consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36% of 4th graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 43%, and only 16% of 5th graders were proficient in reading compared to the state average of 46%. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 82.02% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, suggesting it has the resources to provide more individualized attention to students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Morgan Central Elementary School and Red River Valley Elementary School, Menifee Central School consistently ranks lower in academic performance and overall school quality. Additionally, the school's ranking and performance have declined over the past few years, from 586 out of 687 Kentucky elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 590 out of 685 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school is struggling to improve and may need to implement comprehensive interventions and strategies to address the root causes of its challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
